Letterman Admits Affairs With Employees, Targeted By Extortionist

The Chef — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 11:17:24 +0000

Whoops...

Who knows how posterity will view this move, but I for one say he manned up and faced the camera and admitted this to his audience. Hit the link to watch the video.

Late-night host David Letterman acknowledged on Thursday’s show that he had sexual relationships with female employees and that someone tried to extort $2 million from him over the affairs. CBS says an employee has been charged with attempted grand larceny in the case.

Letterman told his story during a taping of his show, mixing in jokes to an audience that seemed confused about what it was. He called it a “bizarre experience” that left him feeling disturbed and menaced.

‘Jon & Kate’ minus Jon equals ‘Kate Plus Eight’

The Chef — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 19:00:13 +0000

This is my house now!

This just in:

“Jon & Kate Plus 8″ will soon be simply “Kate Plus Eight.”

That’s the word from the TLC network, who announced Tuesday that its hit reality show is adapting to changes in the Gosselin household, which has been disrupted by the split up of Kate and Jon.

To be honest, I was expecting the show to become ‘Jon Plus Eight (and an STD)’ and for Kate to get a spin off on MTV ’s “Real World: Kate’s Womb” where 8 unemployed self-entitled college coeds, grads, and high school drop outs try to live together in the Gosselin uterus.

Oh Well. There’s always sweeps week.

Boy cries blood? It’s a Vampire! Kill it! Kill it!

scatmansham — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 12:30:34 +0000

Ok, so there’s a kid who cries blood. Obviously he’s a whiny bitch, because his mother has about 100 pictures of his blood soaked face. Dude, you’re letting the whole world know you cry all day. I’m no doctor, but it’s obvious he’s either been bitten by a vampire or cries so much his tear glands are just screaming “ENOUGH ALREADY YOU PUSSY!”.

I fail to see what he’s so worried about because my eyes are red and bleeding all the time, and no matter how many times that bitch maces me I will still pass out on her lawn naked when I drink too much. You heard me you old hag! I mean, Mom. Hit the jump for embedded video.

Any True Blood fans out there that think this is awesome show your love in the comments.

Long Island to secede, NY says “good riddance”

Long Island Wants to Secede

Daily Show

Political Humor

Spinal Tap Performance

This Daily Show clip is an oldie but a goodie, in which an argument for Long Island’s secession is made. Check out these Long Island residents’ “expert” opinions; they”re classic.

Does anyone really care if Long Island becomes its own state? Heck, I say let it become its own country if it wants. All it produces are bagels and swoll tatted up Yankees, and let’s be real: We still have Einstein Bros. and New Jersey for those things.

How ‘bout the guy with the guns on his guns? Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow. Pure genius.

New Man vs. Food Widget ensures you will NEVER EVER have to wonder what Adam’s next challenge is.

The Chef — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 14:00:20 +0000

Someone up (or down) there must be listening, because just LAST NIGHT I was doing a headstand in front of my Adam Richman shrine- which basically consists of a short stack of bacon flavored, chili-cheese and ice cream smothered waffle irons welded together by the perpetually burning blowtorch (switching out the propane is tricky, but worth it)- wondering what Adam’s next challenge is!

Now I can post this widget on every single one of my facebook buddies’ walls so that I’m passively bombarded by Man vs Food info whenever I’m surfing the web instead of actively going to their website. Thank. You. God (aka Adam).

Research confirms Gingers feel more pain, have no souls

Miss Molly — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 13:00:47 +0000

I often find myself saying “ouch” before actually making impact with the object about to stub my toe. While this quality has annoyed people in the past who have labeled me an ultra-sensitive wuss, recent research confirms these feelings are simply a product of my mutant genes.

We redheads are always getting the shaft… third degree sunburns, freckled covered bodies, entire South Park episodes dedicated to our imminent demise, and now, apparently, we feel more pain than everyone else.

The funny thing is that since reading this article this morning, I’ve thought of all the ways that I could use this to my advantage. In embracing my little mutants, I’ve realized that I’ll probably be able to cite this article to get out of lifting heavy objects, prescription pain killers galore, and childbirth will happen in a drug induced coma: “Come on doc, I’m a ‘ranga” (which is apparently a slang term for redheads stemming from the word orangutan).

I have a get out-of jail-whining-my-ass-off-free card and I have irrelevant medical researchers who could be curing deadly diseases to thank.

Throwing more salt on Kate Gosselin's seeping wound: Mockery via Wig

The Chef — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 13:31:43 +0000

Child-exploiter, product placement shill and recent divorcee Kate Gosselin is now immortalized via wig. Really hurting for a Halloween costume idea? How about going as Jon?

I have enough Ed Hardy gear, now all i need is a 20 year old coke shoveling co-ed. Leave your number in the comments ladies.

The purposefully ambiguous product description all but ensures that Kate “Husband Stitch” Gosselin (can you say hotdog down a hallway?) doesn’t get her money grubbing paws on any of the proceeds.

“So sleek and so stylish, this blond retro wig will make people think you have eight children and are married to a newspaper columnist (WTF??). Features a blond 80’s-inspired wig that’s smooth and face-framing in the front with a short and puffy back that’s full of volume.

For eight is enough to fill ~~our lives~~ my sad, lonely, pathetic existence with love!”

Newest Guilty Pleasure: "Toddlers & Tiaras" on TLC

The Chef — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 16:59:20 +0000

Coming home from work one day this week, Mo mentions that she DVR’d this show she caught on TLC about little kids in beauty pageants. Specifically, this one woman with twins who so obviously favored one brat over the other, that I could hear the cash register going off in the heads of the pharmaceutical reps watching the show.

Now I am all for child exploitation (especially when the average cost of raising a child to the age of 18 is over $160,000).

But at some point it becomes a zero-sum game: like when, realizing after years of intense psycho-therapy that I am to blame for their warped self-image by dressing them up like mid to high class escorts between the ages of 2 weeks to 12, they end up surreptitiously slipping random household cleaners into my tea during visits to the crappy ass nursing home they stuck me in.

Thankfully, this surprisingly level-headed father ejected the bratty, spoiled twin in the only display of reasonable parenting in the whole hour-long show. He knows, like most men do, that their main responsibility as a father to a daughter is: KEEP ‘EM OFF THE POLE!
